First Region: Charlee Settle Charlee Settle 6'1" | C Calloway County | 2020 State KY , Calloway County –
Coming off a 19 win season, Calloway County will have to hit a bit of a reset button with Settle gone to Murray State for her college career. Elle Carson Elle Carson 5'6" | CG Calloway County | 2021 State KY is going to take the majority of the scoring load as she averaged just under 10 points per game last year. After spending the last few seasons as the Robin to Settle’s Batman, Elle should have a chance to shine and will be in the mix to be a 2021 Miss Basketball finalist also.
Second Region: Emilee Hope Emilee Hope 5'6" | SG Henderson County | 2020 State KY , Henderson County –
Sadie Wurth is one of the top Seniors in the second region and my personal pick to be the Miss Basketball nominee in 2021. Having said that, I’d like to buy some long term stock in Sophomore Guard Graci Risley. As a Freshman, she was the X factor for the 2nd region champs. As a Sophomore, she’s going to be in the mix as a top 5-10 player in the entire region.
Third Region: Hannah McKay Hannah McKay 6'0" | PF Owensboro Catholic | 2020 State KY , Owensboro Catholic; Kendall Wingler Kendall Wingler 5'10" | CG Meade County | 2020 State KY , Meade County –
Replacing Hannah McKay Hannah McKay 6'0" | PF Owensboro Catholic | 2020 State KY is going to be a tall task for a Lady Aces team that also lost their second and third scorers. Senior Forward Ally Maggard is the top returning player for Catholic but there is a large group of Sophomores who are ready for bigger roles. At Meade County, Jenna Gallimore Jenna Gallimore 5'10" | SF Meade County | 2021 State KY should easily slide into the role left by Wingler’s graduation. Jenna is a great scorer and does a little bit of everything. Wingler graduated as one of the best scorers in recent Kentucky history but Gallimore is capable.
Fourth Region: Elizabeth Bertram Elizabeth Bertram 5'6" | CG Barren County | 2020 State KY , Barren County –
With Bertram gone to Centre College, Junior Raven Ennis Raven Ennis 5'4" | PG Barren County | 2022 State KY looks ready to step up and take a bigger role with the Trojanettes. Raven is a bona fide college prospect and a magnificent shooter who had shooting splits of 40/38/74 and was also second on the team in rebounding at 6 per game. Barren will not be rebuilding this season as long as Ennis is ready to break out as one of the 4th region’s top players.
